Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Are these the last of the Newts?

If so, we are finishing with a newt, how very pleasing!

I couldn’t resist, I accidentally pulled him out along with some dead leaves, don’t think he was impressed 😯

Fab newt Mrs J, please can we have a pic of your pond? I looked back and found a pic of it when it was new, but it must be more established now to have so much life. :)

I’ll officially close the thread late tonight or tomorrow morning - until next year, of course.

Lol. Yes Sharkie, that is me with Rory.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a newt in real life!

Thanks Sharkie for setting up the thread and keeping us bouncing along. It's been just lovely reading all those upbeat posts and watching spring arriving in its varied forms.
I think I've managed to find a newt every day, which I'm very pleased about - it shows there are lots of good things around if we remember to notice them.

Thank you Sharkie, the lovely shiny new positivity has been a much-needed lift.

I haven't found or instigated as many newts as some of you, but just thinking about the good things that have happened in the day or what new signs of spring I have seen has helped keep the fugg away.

Thanks, Sharkie, thanks all #fetchfam heart

It was my first time taking part this year and I’ve really enjoyed it. My plan is to keep having a go at my wheelie technique, which would help me a lot if I’m ever going to do more gap jumps :-)

A newt is a really fitting end too :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
